Browns traded up to select Florida State T Roderick Johnson with the No. 160 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.

Johnson (6’7/299) turned pro after making 31 starts at left tackle in Tallahassee. He earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as both a sophomore and junior, awarded to the ACC’s top offensive lineman. While Johnson’s college accolades look impressive on paper, he is a frustrating player on tape. He struggled in pass protection while excelling in the run game, but doesn’t have the body type of a dominant NFL run blocker. Johnson also tested as a disappointing 26th-percentile athlete at the Seminoles’ Pro Day. Johnson offers freaky-long arms (36") and ample theoretical upside, but he may need a year of hard NFL coaching before realizing it. Sat, Apr 29, 2017 02:44:00 PM

Contract-year LT Joe Thomas hinted he will not sign a new contract with the Browns.

Thomas has yet to decide if he will return for his 12th season, but he seemed to suggest 2018 will be his final year in Cleveland even if he decides to return. "No matter what I decide to do, this is the last year of my contract in Cleveland. I’m also 33 right now," Thomas said. "They need to be planning for somebody else pretty soon down the line whether it’s this year or next year." Thomas missed the first snaps of his career because of a triceps injury last season, but lingering back and knee issues are bigger concerns as he decides whether or not to continue his career. Even if he comes back, it is time for the Browns to start looking toward the future.
